Channel Chuckles - 07/30/1961

BIL KEANE (b. 1922) is a self-taught artist who created the comic strips Silly Willy and the long-running Channel Chuckles, but is, of course, best-known as the creator of The Family Circus, which he launched in 1960.

This is the original Sunday comic strip art for Channel Chuckles, dated 7-30-61. The image area measures 21.5" x 14" and the art is in very good condition, with light overall aging.
